We believe that access to academic work should not depend on ability to pay. Therefore, we do not require authors to pay an Open Access fee for publication. We encourage those who are able to apply for grants from their university and elsewhere to do so, in order to defray the costs of publishing their book and enable us to accept more authors who do not have funding, but the decision about whether or not we will accept a manuscript for publication depends entirely on the outcome of our peer review process and not on the availability or otherwise of funding.
Authors without any funding regularly publish with us. If a book is unusually lengthy or contains a very large number of images, we may charge a production fee to cover the extra costs, as detailed in Appendix Three of our Authors' Guide. We ensure that we do not need to charge authors a mandatory Open Access fee thanks to our sustainable mixed model of funding , including: revenue from the sale of affordably priced digital and paper copies alongside our Open Access editions; our innovative and long-standing Library Membership Programme ; and the grant funding that some authors are able to source to support the publication of their books.
We provide information on possible sources of publishing grants for Open Access books and support our authors throughout the application process. For more information on available grants and how to apply, see our Authors' Guide. Research assessment, reviews and quality standards All books published by OBP can be submitted for university research assessments.
